Engine bay dress up almost complete!
Well it's been a long time since I started dressing up my engine bay but I think it's safe to say it's almost done! I had the FRC's, washer/coolant tanks, battery and fuse box cover, and radiator shroud painted by Brian, aka C5 KIDD. The pieces came out unbeleively well! No orange peel at all!! It only took about 2 hours for my boy and I to install everything.
Thanks to Zilla for inspiring me to do the bay and Greg aka Yellohh for driving all the way down to Florida to pick the pieces up for me!
Here's some pics:
I still have to install my black FRC letters from Zip products and I want to get a new style piece of CF for the brake fluid reservoir (covers the entire thing, not just the top). I also want to do the windshield wiper cowl eventually, but that's on the back burner!

Oh, I agree with my good buddy, Dave, here. Wow, Rob, your engine bay is like freaking jewelry. Love that carbon fiber with the matching colored reservoir covers. Well done.
